Hok-ohol

This must be called Hok-ohol (combination of Hokie and alcohol). I found this at the Kroger in Blacksburg, Virginia.

It seems a little strange for a land grant, state university to have an official wine, alcohol, adult beverage. What signal does it send to kids about VT's stand on alcohol. We spend lots of $$$ telling kids not to drink and then put the Hokie bird on this wine....mixed signals.

My dad was a VPI grad, so we are all Hokie fans here. I am the proud owner of a box of Hokie Flakes. (never opened or eaten - rec'd in 1999, so I'm sure they're stale as all get out!). I'll have to take a pic of them for you.
